Also, the reason my theory here will probably fail is that I just did some research into dimensions and fo7nd that it is not a priority for them to be orthogonal (perpendicular).

That makes sens if I understamd what you mean By orthagonal/perpendicular, If I understand from the definitions, time (the 4th dimension) can only be entered at the point one is currently at, and can only move in one direction.

Not true, think of the xy plane.

I once wrote a blog post years ago titled "I'll take Dimensions for 10, Alex." If I can find it on the Wayback Machine, I'll repost it.

Lol, so the universe revolves around you, eh?

Maybe they need to reconsider their priorities.

That is just one of a few theories.

When Young performed the experiment, using a modified setup, it seemed to establish that light was a wave and not a particle.

Or was it?

It is not nonsense. It is abstract thinking of the highest level. To claim it is nonsense, you have to provide something, anything to argue it is impossible. The whole theories on the possibility of multiple universes are hypotheses, proposal of an idea. Since we have no way to test the idea it is simply unfalsifiable, not nonsense.

I can't prove it is right, but I can't prove it is wrong, either. The 'sample size' of universes we have to explore is one, therefore, all we cn argue is that only one exists that we know of .A skeptic on this concept accepts the possibility that there might (or might not) be universes beyond ours. I can't believe either because I lack data.Right now, the evidnce tells us there is only one universe. Now, from that, it can be asked, "is there any reason there can't be others outside ours?"

The concept of multiple unierses simply postulates that the entire setting of reality could allow for the existence of multiple universes. I can't verify this, but to the limited extent I understand string theory it is theoretically possible, We have no evidence that it is possible. We also have no evidence it is impossible. But maybe I am incorrect, and there is some condition in physics that makes one or more external hybrid univers(s) separate from this one impossible. Please be so kind as to tell me what that is.
